Starting the New Year off right with an LS3 swap!

Just started on this build yesterday and it's going to be a good one. Make sure to keep checking back for updates. Lots of pictures to come.

Final shots of everything all buttoned up.

StopTech and a nice set of Volk's. Who needs the stickers on a track car?

Undercarriage with a dual Greddy setup.

Quick interior shot. Post build a proper cage will be fabricated.

We are using the SIKKY kit. They call it the LSX kit because the blocks are the same for all of them. So, it will bolt up just fine.

Loaded weight is around 3,800 pounds and besides having the dash most of the interior is gutted out. Brakes are bigger, but still light and of course lightweight wheels. Cage is going to add a good bit of weight back into it as well.

Some more progress today. I watched John pull this out and it was smooth as butter.

Everything disconnected.

Swapping on an awesome Wilwood/SIKKY combo and you can see the difference compared to the stock setup.

After the cage obviously we will be adding weight, but close to 3,000 as possible is where we would like to be.
